Christmas can be a really tough time of the year for some, but we don’t want you feeling like no one cares – because there are many organisations who care deeply that you don’t feel alone this Christmas! And, so do we.
If you would like to join a Christmas Day community lunch or event and have a meal with others – who can’t wait to have a meal with you – and attend a service, we hope one of these listings will provide you with support, compassion and joy.
